Romans 6:16
Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?
Obedience Resulting in Righteousness
The other option that is available to the believer is simply unavailable to the non-believer and that is that we can now abide in the new nature and produce, by His power and His life, real actual righteousness. The reality is that we can now live by the power of Christ’s life within us and everything we do will be reward-able, every action, every word and every breath will be the work of Christ within us, and thus be the very thing that He wants to see in us. Far from a “to do list” that we can succeed or fail at. This is a joyous reality that should, logically, characterize every moment of the believer’s life.
